Rights of Commercial Travellers.

graph. Yesterday A. +. Justice, a COM
mercial traveller, proceeded to introduce bis
wares to the merchants. While so en-
gagged he was arrested for violation of the
city ordinance requiring all commercial
travellers to pay license of $50. He pro-
tested against bis arrest and the detention
of his goods claiming that under decision
of the Supreme Court of the United States
commercial travellers are held everywhere
exempt from local-lieense taxation. He
was informed by the Marshal that as long
as the ordinance existed it would have TO be
enforced. Mr. Justice then offered to pay
the license under protest, but finding that
would not release him, he deposited bail.

to see the matter through, and is now en-
deavoring to get the extortionate license
repealed.
